Flexible Scope Exam of the Voice Box With Biopsy

New York rates for HCPCS 31576

This procedure examines the voice box using a thin, flexible scope passed through the nose or mouth, and includes taking a small tissue sample from an abnormal area seen during the exam. It is used when a growth, lesion, or persistent voice change needs a tissue diagnosis rather than just a visual look. The scope is removed once the sample has been collected and the area is stable.
